Starches
In the food industry, starches are used primarily to thicken or bind processed foods. They are found in frozen foods, canned soups, pie fillings, salad dressings, canned fruits and many more products. They are also sold to food companies for direct sale to consumers.
Starches play a diverse role in the industrial sector. The paper industry uses starches as strengthening and finishing agents. Starches are also used to produce adhesives for shipping containers, display boards and other corrugated products. In the textile industry, starches reduce friction in the weaving process and improve the feel and appearance of fabric. You will also find starches in plastics, adhesive and construction materials, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. The mining, oil and gas drilling industries also use corn starches in their processes.
